Subject: [BOND] Afgan Pattern
Hi Guys,
Well using the baby afgan from the beginners book as inspiration I made
my own pattern for a afgan for my meice that I thought I would
share....I ahve never posted an idea or pattern before so bear with
me...
I used: 5-6 ounces skeins of Red Heart in Burgundy Fleck
5-6 ounce Skeins of Red Heart in Buff Fleck
CO 80 stitches with Burgundy Fleck in closed edge cast on...Knit 104
rows....Switch colors to Buff Fleck...Knit 104 more rows....Switch to
Burgundy Fleck...Knit 104 rows...Switch one last time to Buff
Fleck..Knit 104 rows then BO
Using the seam as you go technique...start your next row...This time
start with Buff...Follow the same directions for first row switching
colors every 104 rows....
Do one more row using the seam as you go technique to join the first two
rows to the last...This time start with Burgundy again...Make sure your
colors alternate nicely in your overall pattern...Single crochet the
edges...And block if needed...
This makes a quick and easy checker board pattern...My next one will be
done by alternating yarn textures in the squares...Maybe mohair/wool/and
who knows....You could also do a different stitch in each square...Like
cables/bobbles/lace and use your imagination...Any way I hope this give
you all some good ideas...Its an easy pattern to do for christmas
gifts...Gina

Subject: [BOND] Checkerboard Afghan
Just a few thoughts on the Checkerboard Afghan:
The pattern does not say how big it is, mine is turning out to be 54"
wide by 72" long without a border yet. I used Red Heart yarn in Hunter
Green and White and it has kind of a jaunty look to it. I think it
would make a nice afghan to send with a college student done in their
school colors.
Thanks,
Ruth Ann
